The Lipscomb University-University of Connecticut game, originally set for a 2:30 p.m. Friday start, has been reset for an 11 a.m. start, while first pitch for the Mississippi State-Connecticut game has been moved to 2:30 p.m. It was originally scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. start. Schedule changes will be posted on the MSU Athletics Department web site, www.HailState.com.
The 11 a.m./2:30 p.m. game schedule for both Saturday and Sunday remains in place. The Dudy Noble Field ticket office and stadium gates open at 10 a.m. Friday and at 9 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday.
